Malmesbury Park: The Brunswick

The Brunswick is a pub in Malmesbury Park Road, and is dated 1883 in the right-hand gable. It has had a recent facelift, particularly in the rear area, where toilets have been replaced and a large beer-garden installed, much of which is covered and has pictures hanging making it look like an interior room (see SZ0992 : Malmesbury Park: the Brunswick smoking area). This surmounts the challenge of the smoking ban which came into force on 1 July last year.

The cars on the forecourt are probably those of drinkers who saw the new year in here last night. I collected mine, which was parked a few doors away, just now.
